Resumen

Silk mat originates from the cocoon of the silkworm and is prepared by a simple method. The material has been used for guided bone regeneration (GBR) in animal models. In this study, the silk mat used for a clinical application was compared with a commercially available membrane for GBR. A prospective split-mouth, randomized clinical trial was conducted with 25 patients who had bilaterally impacted lower third molars. High-density polytetrafluoroethylene (dPTFE) membrane or silk mat was applied in the extraction socket randomly. Probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and bone gain (BG) were measured at the time of extraction (T0) and then at three months (T1) and six months after extraction (T2). There was no missing case. GBR with silk mat was non-inferior to GBR with dPTFE for PD reduction at T1 and T2 (pnon-inferiority < 0.001). PD and CAL were significantly decreased at T1 and T2 when compared with those at T0 in both membrane groups (p < 0.001). BG at T2 was 3.61 ± 3.33 mm and 3.56 ± 3.30 mm in the silk mat group and dPTFE group, respectively. There was no significant complication from the use of silk mat for the patients. The results for patients undergoing GBR with silk mat for third-molar surgery were non-inferior to GBR with dPTFE for PD reduction.
